Effects of Salmonella genotypes and testing protocols on H2O2-induced mutation

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was shown to be mutagenic in a number of strains of Salmonella typhimurium. Strain SB1106p (hisC3108, hisO1242, pKM101), a newly-constructed strain carrying the histidine mutation at a UGA chain-terminating codon, was more responsive to H2O2 than TA104 or TA102, the two hisG428 strains originally developed for detecting oxidative mutagens. The largest proportional increase in revertants of strain TA104 was in the fraction of intragenic deletions. Three other strains (TA97, SB1111 and SB1106) gave unequivocal positive responses to H2O2 in both the liquid pre-incubation procedure and standard plate incorporation procedure. The response of TA100 varied among experiments, ranging from negative to a weak positive. Variations in the catalase content among the tester strains did not correlate with the relative responses obtained in the mutagenicity assays.
